    Looking like Overwatch 2 is still having pretty significant issues, and are still suffering from DDoS-ers. I'm gonna be sad if I can't play when I get home because I've been waiting for this all day long

  • nyeE8GZHEp3R1d7 神話殤乂 (@nyeE8GZHEp3R1d7) reported

    Hi @BlizzardCS . I want to update my country information. But the Taiwan customer service has never been able to use it. Hope you guys can help me. i want to play Overwatch2 (Has Overwatch 1 profile) my english is bad

  • JpDeathBlade JpSpookyBlade 👻🎃 (@JpDeathBlade) reported

    @PaulTassi Hard R Gamers is usually my go to. Someone was "wronged" by Blizzard... probably Overwatch 1 being offline for good or Diablo Immortals or something stupid. DDoS'ing is mad easy so more than likely some 16 year old with nothing better to do.

  • connorl0ve9 #Vove Connor (@connorl0ve9) reported

    From the few hours of playing the new Overwatch 2 with @shyclover_ im honestly enjoying it. Apart from the ddos attack anyway. Also hopped into comp for a bit and got 3 wins as junker queen

  • AdamEchidna ADAM - Modern Warfare II (@AdamEchidna) reported

    @BlizzardCS So what's the current status of the server problems with Overwatch 2? Will this be resolved soon?

  • SolarWarden11 Brody (@SolarWarden11) reported

    @MiguelStein11 @overwatch It's not been on for 6 years. It's been active since noon. If you read their posts that's a known issue that they're working on. Their serves are getting attacked.

  • Lusterkeys Platinum 🇦🇬 (@Lusterkeys) reported

    The Overwatch 2 situation pretty much describes modern gaming problems in a nutshell.

  • JTT843 Jaymo 👽🛸✌️ (@JTT843) reported

    Overwatch fix your ******* **** you kicked me when it gave me an achievement and now it’s been damn near 40 minutes to load back in after an hour of waiting

  • moth1ng 𝘮𝘰𝘵 (@moth1ng) reported

    aint no way overwatch 2 is getting ddos on its first day 😭

  • TakGoUp Tak (@TakGoUp) reported

    It's not Blizzard's fault the Overwatch 2 servers are down but it's still way more entertaining to pretend like it is for the sake of the laundry list of problems going on with them.

  • PauseScreenMC Mountie - Pause Screen Media (@PauseScreenMC) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @redditOWL @Qwik - I would urge everyone to go into the Steam/ XBOX/ Playstation store and rate this a 1. The game is broke, the servers down, fake DDoS attack. This is not Overwatch 2 it's Overwatch with a few new characters. This game isn't different. 1 star

  • lognthinkshecan Big Hat Logan ☕🍜🍃💨 (@lognthinkshecan) reported

    Welp all my skins are missing and i tried to restart but keep getting server errors. Thanks Overwatch 2. 0/10 **** game

  • Julian69203972 julian:) (@Julian69203972) reported

    Blizzard needs to address the Overwatch 2 server issues, we need an update #Overwatch2

  • gohemz gohem⁉️ (@gohemz) reported

    Overwatch 2 PS5 version seems to be completely broken I've been trying to get in for 5 hours and still haven't got in once

  • shadowykidd Joe (@shadowykidd) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent @PlayOverwatch And on top of that Overwatch 1 had no issues. Why am I being blocked from playing a free game when I supported Overwatch/Blizzard for years on multiple accounts be locked out due to a prepaid phone plan?

  • InstinctIsKing Instinct (@InstinctIsKing) reported

    @PlayOverwatch It would be a wish, if you prepared for your servers to flood, and on top of that, your transferring data from Overwatch to Overwatch 2. If you would’ve prepared for this we wouldn’t have this issue, would we?
